WE HAVE NEWS!

Well, call us shocked! After our boys were born 9 YEARS AGO, we were sure that our family was complete, and took steps to insure that we didn't get any "surprises". Well, 8 years after that, SURPRISE!!! Yes, you read right, we are pregnant! Apparently our plan did not fit in with someone else's plan. After the initial shock and disbelief wore off, we started coming to terms with the idea. Mainly we just came to terms with the fact that if Heavenly Father had another spirit up there who was supposed to join our family, then that's what is going to happen. We are getting used to the idea, and starting to get a little excited, as long as we don't dwell too long on the details, like where this kid will sleep, and the fact that we have NO baby stuff. Sometimes I still waver between panic and denial, as I did the first 4 or 5 days after we found out. But we are just trying to concentrate on the fact that this is what Heavenly Father wants for us and somehow everything will work out. Can't say I'm thrilled to be pregnant at 36, as so far I feel like I have been run over by a Mack Truck. But Tony and the kids are already jumping in to help and take over more of the household chores to give me time to collapse on the couch. We will keep you all posted on the developments. Our first doctor's appt. is on Oct 23rd, and right now, I am just anxious to hear that there is only 1 little spirit in there, not two!
